Fees & Conditions

St Paul’s British Primary School fees are competitive compared with other international schools in Brussels. We do have a bursary policy which allows for a limited number of places to be made available at fees lower than our published fee structure. The policy relating to these bursaries is detailed here.

Application Fee

Non-refundable, payable once per child €650 for the first child from a family, €550 for the second child and € 450 for each subsequent child, payable at the time of submission of application.

Tuition Fees

These cover all normal tuition costs, including books, materials, and residential journeys. The annual fees are payable for the whole school year and are due by July 1st, or within 30 days of the invoice. 

Late payment will incur interest and administration charges as follows:

• 0.5% interest per month is charged on payments outstanding beyond 30 days.
• 0.75% interest per month is charged on all payments outstanding beyond 90 day
• There is a €20 admin charge for each Late Fee letter.
• These letters are normally sent monthly.

Bus Service Charges

The Bus Service Charge will be invoiced for the whole year. The Bus Service is charged on a cost-recovery basis, and is € 3,750 for two-way journeys and € 1,875 for one way only.

Bank Details

Payments should be made by bank transfer to:
ING Account: 310-0364392-49
IBAN: BE97 3100 3643 9249
SWIFT / BIC: BBRUBEBB

Special Needs and Optional Activities such as speech and other therapies, private music lessons and after-school activities, are charged separately. When a child requires individual English as an Additional language (EAL) lessons to help them with the curriculum these are covered by the tuition Fees and there is not seperate charge.

We anticipate that all fees quoted above will remain fixed for the school year, but reserve the right to revise fees before the start of any term, should this become necessary.

Parents are responsible for payment of the total sums due, regardless of any subsidies provided by their employer.
